The photo above: President Obama, who was spotted yesterday taking a to-go order from Miami institution El Mago de Las Fritas. A frita, by the way, is a Cuban version of a hamburger. Cuban hamburger!

This week in Dish, we delve into Oktoberfest, the German celebration of beer, beer, and more beer. We look at four local eateries where authentic German means boots of beer and bratwurst. The first, Old Heidelberg, is a chalet-themed restaurant that’s been slinging sausages since 1991. We also investigate the…
One retro foodstuff that seems to be making a comeback is deviled eggs. Typically the sort of fodder you’d find at 1950s-themed cocktail parties, these bite-sized snacks are making their way onto menus all over South Florida. I get the phenomenon, I do. Deviled eggs — nostalgic though they may…
I stopped by the Flavors of Greece Festival held this past Saturday and Sunday at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Fort Lauderdale, hoping to sample a little taste of authentic Greek food. What I got was a big taste — a baseball-bat-sized wallop of flavors that nearly put me…

I love Korean short ribs. The marinated beef balances sweet and salty, spicy and savory just right. But short ribs are also pretty fatty and more difficult to cook at home. So when I got my hands on a jar of kimchi and some lean, top round beef, I thought…

A Chinese pork bun, perfect for eating in the car.A cheap lunch on the go is a good thing sometimes, just not when it comes from a drive-through window. But turn to a bun — also known as bao — and you’ll have a tasty, fresh meal that won’t give…
You’ve heard of — and maybe even eaten — a spaghetti sandwich. But spaghetti tacos? That’s crazy talk, hombre.But people are actually eating the unlikely combination thanks to a Nickelodeon kids’ show called iCarly.During an episode of the live action show that originally aired in November 2007, one of the…
Here’s one for your sweet tooth: The Lodge in Boca Raton is hosting a chocolate pairing this Saturday featuring Dove Chocolates. It’s OK, you can squeal like a schoolgirl now.

Probably the number-two reason to live in South Florida (besides the weather — damn, is it beautiful out today) is stone crabs. Having these sweet, meaty claws available fresh in almost every raw bar, fish market, and seafood restaurant during season is worth any amount of torture endured the rest…
El Recreo is a busy little bakery that makes all sorts of Cuban pastries, breads, and sandwiches. The inside is small, with a couple of tables and a long but stubby lunch counter against one wall and a series of display cases hugging the small prep area. The ladies behind…

Tailgating can be a bitch. You’ve got to get to the stadium hours ahead of time, lug all kinds of equipment (grills, propane, charcoal, booze), and if you leave something at home (like the tickets!), you can’t just turn around and get it. Once you’re in Dolphins Stadium’s pound-me-in-the-keester $25…
I’ve been visiting a lot of German restaurants lately for Octoberfest and a column I’m writing for next week’s paper. What’s surprising is we have so many good places to eat German food down here. It’s not a cuisine I’d typically turn to when looking for somewhere to go out,…
